[jennifer g]

Hello Jessica!!

Thank you for participating in the ASP business meeting!! Your presence is 
greatly appreciated, as is your input.  In accordance with business meeting 
guidelines it is important that we stay "on topic" which is the issue of 
"length of time in ASP".  There are other issues regarding qualifications 
which will be discussed in this month's business meeting- but for efficiency 
and structure we must stay "on topic" before moving onto other areas.

Hugs,
Jennifer
ASP Secretary
